Thanks for your detailed update on renewed interest in nuclear power, "New Realities Bring about a Construction Climate Change". Like many environmentalists, I opposed nuclear power in the 1970s and 1980s, before economic forces did what we could not achieve: stop the construction of unsafe plants "regulated" by a captive federal agency.
Nuclear power is a fascinating and dynamic energy source, and it almost makes sense until you consider the devil's bargain that has to be made in the process of waste storage. Stories leaked from the deep salt bed injection research suggest that what once seemed promising is not so certain, and that data integrity is questionable. Omission of any reference to these problems is the one flaw in your otherwise excellent story.
